East Timor to return Kerobokan escapees

Authorities in East Timor will return to Indonesia two foreign inmates who escaped from a Bali prison.

Bulgarian Dimitar Nikolov Iliev and Indian Sayed Mohammed Said were among four prisoners who escaped on Monday from the Kerobokan penitentiary in Bali through a hole under the walls connecting to a water tunnel heading toward a main street.

Perth man Shaun Davidson and Malaysian national Tee Kok King remain at large.

East Timor police chief Julio da Costa Hornay says the two men were recaptured on Thursday near a port in the capital, Dili. Police seized $US7,000 in cash in their hotel room.

He says preparations are underway for them to be sent back to Indonesia later on Friday.

Iliev is serving a seven-year sentence for money laundering and Said is serving 14 years for drug offenses.
